DETROIT, Mich. — Metro Detroit is working through a wet stretch as showers and an occasional rumble of thunder arrive Thursday evening and linger off and on into Friday.
Forecast desks tracking the National Weather Service outlook for the Detroit area call for spotty rain first, then a stronger cold front that pulls highs from the 60s down into the low and mid-50s by Friday afternoon. Rain totals look modest, around a quarter of an inch in many spots.
Overnight Friday into Saturday morning, readings can dip into the 30s, with frost possible north and west of the city. Sunday looks quieter, with sunshine and a rebound toward 60 degrees before a milder week.
The National Weather Service Detroit/Pontiac office updated its local briefing maps early Friday, underscoring the frontal timing for southeast Michigan. Drivers should watch for slick pavement during the heavier bursts tonight.
Outdoor plans Friday work best with layers and a rain jacket; the raw wind that comes with the front will make the mid-50s feel cooler than the number on the thermometer.
